Here is the short and pretty version of a paper I published at the beginning of the year in which I argue that sleeping is valuable aesthetically, interpersonally and intrinsically. Happy to say that a short book on this topic is forthcoming with Princeton U press. #philsky #philosophy #sleeping
aeon.co Aeon Magazine @aeon.co · 5d
In a culture that prizes efficiency, sleep is often seen as a waste of time, or something to ‘hack’. But, as @saraprotasi.bsky.social argues, sleep is more than just a tool for higher productivity; it is intrinsically valuable and has its own aesthetic pleasures to be enjoyed
Sleep is not just a physical need but a delicious pleasure | Aeon Essays
The idea that we should reduce sleep to an efficient minimum in our lives gets something fundamentally wrong

The Editor in Chief of #HOPOS, Matthew J. Brown, sets out his vision for the future of the journal in a new #openaccess editorial. It is "part manifesto, part call for papers, part love letter to one of my favorite fields of study."

I have news. Wonderful news.

New paper on #disinformation. The title is the thesis. Think of disinformation as content that functions to optimise the decisions of the audience for the disinformant. This doesn't require deception or content that induces false belief.

According to a recent account of disinformation, disinformation is content that “generates ignorance” (Simion 2024a; 2024b). The view improves upon previous accounts that focused upon the potential fo...

After a post by @olivia.science, I went to see the terracotta figures from Agia Eirini, brought here by the Swedish Cyprus Expedition in 1931, now at Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm. Plundered, with the blessing of the British, who controlled Cyprus. 1/n
Terracotta statues from Agia Eirini at Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm. Cattle, horses and centaurs up front, hundreds of smaller statues and some larger ones at the back. The largest is close to life-sized.
